Fiber that secures periosteum to underlying bone
46
Name the 4 characteristics of the periosteum

50
Location of Hematopoeitic tissue of newborn infants (red marrow)
medullary cavities and all spaces in spongy bone
51
Cells of bones
Osteogenic (osteoprogenitor) cells * Stem cells in periosteum and endosteum that give rise to osteoblasts Osteoblasts * Bone-forming cells Osteocytes * Mature bone cells Osteoclasts * Cells that break down (resorb) bone matrix
52
Anatomy of Compact bone
Haversian system, or osteon—structural unit Lamellae * Weight-bearing * Column-like matrix tubes Central (Haversian) canal * Contains blood vessels and nerves Perforating (Volkmann’s) canals At right angles to the central canal Connects blood vessels and nerves of the periosteum and central canal Lacunae—small cavities that contain osteocytes Canaliculi—hairlike canals that connect lacunae to each other and the central canal (cracks)
53
Anatomy of spongy bone
Trabeculae 1. Align along lines of stress 2. No osteons 3. Contain irregularly arranged lamellae, osteocytes, and canaliculi 4. Capillaries in endosteum supply nutrients
54
Chemical Composition of Bone: Organic
Osteogenic cells, osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts Osteoid—organic bone matrix secreted by osteoblasts * Ground substance (proteoglycans, glycoproteins) * Collagen fibers * Provide tensile strength and flexibility
55
Chemical Composition of Bone: Inorganic
Hydroxyapatites (mineral salts) 1. 65% of bone by mass 2. Mainly calcium phosphate crystals 3. Responsible for hardness and resistance to compression
56
Bone Development
Osteogenesis (ossification)—bone tissue formation Stages 1. Bone formation—begins in the 2nd month of development 2. Postnatal bone growth—until early adulthood 3. Bone remodeling and repair—lifelong
57
Two Types of Ossification
Intramembranous ossification * Membrane bone develops from fibrous membrane * Forms flat bones, e.g. clavicles and cranial bones Endochondral ossification * Cartilage (endochondral) bone forms by replacing hyaline cartilage * Forms most of the rest of the skeleton
58
Endochondral Ossification
Uses hyaline cartilage models Requires breakdown of hyaline cartilage prior to ossification
59
Postnatal Bone Growth
Interstitial growth: increase length of long bones Appositional growth: increase thickness and remodeling of all bones by osteoblasts and osteoclasts on bone surfaces
60
Growth in Length of Long Bones
Epiphyseal plate cartilage organizes into four important functional zones: 1. Proliferation (growth) 2. Hypertrophic 3. Calcification 4. Ossification (osteogenic)
61
Hormonal Regulation of Bone Growth
Growth hormone stimulates epiphyseal plate activity Thyroid hormone modulates activity of growth hormone Testosterone and estrogens (at puberty) * Promote adolescent growth spurts * End growth by inducing epiphyseal plate closure
62
Bone Deposit
* Occurs where bone is injured or added strength is needed * Requires a diet rich in protein; vitamins C, D, and A; calcium; phosphorus; magnesium; and manganese Sites of new matrix deposit are revealed by the: Osteoid seam Unmineralized band of matrix Calcification front The abrupt transition zone between the osteoid seam and the older mineralized bone
63
Bone Resorption
Osteoclasts secrete * Lysosomal enzymes (digest organic matrix) * Acids (convert calcium salts into soluble forms) Dissolved matrix is transcytosed across osteoclast, enters interstitial fluid and then blood
64
What 2 things control the continual remodeling of bone?
1. Hormonal mechanisms that maintain calcium homeostasis in the blood 2. Mechanical and gravitational forces
65
Hormonal Control of Blood Ca2+
Calcium is necessary for: 1. Transmission of nerve impulses 2. Muscle contraction 3. Blood coagulation 4. Secretion by glands and nerve cells 5. Cell division Primarily controlled by parathyroid hormone (PTH) -\>Paul Revere that rounds up osteoclasts Decrease in Blood Ca2+ levels leads to: 1. Parathyroid glands release PTH 2. PTH stimulates osteoclasts to degrade bone matrix and release Ca2+ 3. RESULT: Increase Blood Ca2+ levels May be affected to a lesser extent by calcitonin (Tone down calcium levels) Increase in Blood Ca2+ levels leads to: 1. Parafollicular cells of thyroid release calcitonin 2. Osteoblasts deposit calcium salts 3. Decrease Blood Ca2+ levels * Leptin has also been shown to influence bone density by inhibiting osteoblasts
66
Response to Mechanical Stress (The Grey)
Wolff’s law: A bone grows or remodels in response to forces or demands placed upon it Observations supporting Wolff’s law: 1. Handedness (right or left handed) results in bone of one upper limb being thicker and stronger 2. Curved bones are thickest where they are most likely to buckle 3. Trabeculae form along lines of stress 4. Large, bony projections occur where heavy, active muscles attach
67
4 either/or Classifications of Bone Fractures
Bone fractures may be classified by four “either/or” classifications: 1) Position of bone ends after fracture: * Nondisplaced—ends retain normal position * Displaced—ends out of normal alignment 2) Completeness of the break * Complete—broken all the way through * Incomplete—not broken all the way through 3) Orientation of the break to the long axis of the bone: * Linear—parallel to long axis of the bone * Transverse—perpendicular to long axis of the bone 4) Whether or not the bone ends penetrate the skin: * Compound (open)—bone ends penetrate the skin * Simple (closed)—bone ends do not penetrate the skin
68
Common Types of Fractures
All fractures can be described in terms of: 1. Location 2. External appearance 3. Nature of the break
69
Stages in the Healing of a Bone Fracture
1) Hematoma forms * Torn blood vessels hemorrhage * Clot (hematoma) forms * Site becomes swollen, painful, and inflamed 2) Fibrocartilaginous callus forms * Phagocytic cells clear debris * Osteoblasts begin forming spongy bone within 1 week * Fibroblasts secrete collagen fibers to connect bone ends * Mass of repair tissue now called fibrocartilaginous callus 3) Bony callus formation * New trabeculae form a bony (hard) callus * Bony callus formation continues until firm union is formed in ~2 months 4) Bone remodeling * In response to mechanical stressors over several months * Final structure resembles original
70
Homeostatic Imbalances
Osteomalacia and rickets * Calcium salts not deposited * Rickets (childhood disease) causes bowed legs and other bone deformities * Cause: vitamin D deficiency or insufficient dietary calcium Osteoporosis (Holey bone disease) * Loss of bone mass—bone resorption outpaces deposit * Spongy bone of spine and neck of femur become most susceptible to fracture Risk factors * Lack of estrogen, calcium or vitamin D; petite body form; immobility; low levels of TSH; diabetes mellitus
71
Osteoporosis: Treatment and Prevention
* Calcium, vitamin D, and fluoride supplements * Increase Weight-bearing exercise throughout life * Hormone (estrogen) replacement therapy (HRT) slows bone loss * Some drugs (Fosamax, SERMs, statins) increase bone mineral density
72
Paget’s Disease
Excessive and haphazard bone formation and breakdown, usually in: * spine, pelvis, femur, or skull Pagetic bone has very high ratio of spongy to compact bone and reduced mineralization * Unknown cause (possibly viral) * Treatment includes calcitonin and biphosphonates
73
The Axial Skeleton
* Consists of 80 bones Three major regions: 1. Skull 2. Vertebral column 3. Thoracic cage
74
Appendicular Skeleton
Bones of the limbs and their girdles * Pectoral girdle attaches the upper limbs to the body trunk * Pelvic girdle secures the lower limbs
75
Pectoral Girdle (Shoulder Girdle)
Clavicles and the scapulae * Attach the upper limbs to the axial skeleton * Provide attachment sites for muscles that move the upper limbs
76
Pelvic (Hip) Girdle
Two hip bones (each also called coxal bone or os coxae) * Attach the lower limbs to the axial skeleton with strong ligaments * Transmit weight of upper body to lower limbs * Support pelvic organs Each hip bone consists of three fused bones: 1. ilium 2. ischium 3. pubis Together with the sacrum and the coccyx, these bones form the bony pelvis
